Same exact problem here, only thing that it was only one connector giving the problem mainly because a hard fall taken by the router (my fault).
Good news is, that if you have at least one good connector you can use it to:
1) connect (uplink) to an inexpensive hub (+- $10.00),
2) connect the computers to the hub, and
3) all your problems will be solved.
If buying a hub, just make sure it is an "autosensing" model so you do not have to go through the agravation of building/buying a cross-over cable.
